Checking in Baggage from DXB to DUB via LHR
Hi,
I am flying BA from DXB to LHR and then have an Aer Lingus flight from LHR to DUB. These are two seperate bookings but can I check luggage in at DXB right through to DUB as these airlines are part of the same alliance?
Regards,
Brendan

In general, being part of the same alliance doesn't guarantee you'll be able to check baggage through on different tickets. Conversely, it may be possible in this case, depending on BA rules and interlining agreements (I'm completely unfamiliar with both).

Most likely you can do it on the way into DUB, but you will likely be forced to pay for the luggage ex DUB to LHR based on the EI fees- check it out, it could cost you a lot if luggage is heavy.
If your EI flights are actually booked as BA code shares, then you are probably ok in both directions

Does BA only code share on EI flights between LHR and DUB on connecting trips?
